GLOVE-FASTENER STUD.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 490,411, dated January24, 1893.

' Application filed March 16, 1891.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT G. MEAD, a citizen of the United States,residing at Boston, in the county 01": Suffolk and Commonwealth ofMassachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inGlove-Fastener Studs, of which the following is a full specification.

My invention consists of an improved fastener stud secured to one flapof a glove or garment and adapted to engage with a resilient socketattached to the opposite flap thereof. This fastener stud has a struckup flanged head into which is introduced the rounded enlarged top of aclinching eyelet, the said head being rolled in around and under theenlarged top of said eyelet thus holding the eyelet tightlytherein. Thedownwardly projecting shank of the clinching eyelet is passed throughthe material of the glove or garment and clinched on the under sidethereof by beingturned outward either directly against the said materialor againstan intervening washer.

Of the accompanying drawings which show in section my fastener stud as awhole and in detached parts,Figuro 1 represents the flanged head asfirst struck up previous to being rolled in. Fig. 2 shows the form ofclinching eyelet which I preferably employ. Fig. 3shows the enlarged topof the eyeletintroduced into the flanged head of the stud. .Fig. 4 showsthe head rolled in around the top of the eyelet so as to hold the twoparts tightly together, and Fig. 5 shows the stud asa whole in place onthe leather or other material of the glove or garment.

A is the head of the stud struck up in the shape shown in Fig. l withthe flange a.

B is the clinching eyelet which has the enlarged rounded top b by whichsaid eyelet is held in the head, and, as it were, grasped, and the shankb which is to pass through the glove material and be clinched thereto.The enlarged top is of such a size as to fit into the head A of thestud, it being inserted therein as shown in Fig. 2. The flanged head isthen rolled in around and under the enlarged top of the eyelet formingthe contracted neck a which neck in addition to serving as the portionof the head of reduced diameter which Serial no. 385,188. (No model.)

is clasped by the contracted lip of the inclos ing socket also servesthe secondary purpose of holding the parts A and B firmly together. Theshank b is forced down through the material and clinched on the undersurface thereof by turning the same outwardly either directly againstsaid under surface, or preferably, as shown in Fig. 5 against a washerC.

-When in place on the glove material the flange a of the head restsdirectly on the top surface thereof.

I am aware that hollow studs having rolled in necks have been secured tothe material by flanged tubular rivets passed up from beneath through ahole in said material and expanded within said head by being upsettherein, but I am not aware that any one has hitherto rolled in the headof the stud around the enlarged head of a downwardly projecting eyeletfor the purpose of holding that eyelet permanently, the eyelet beingpassed down from above through the material and clinched on theunderside. In this manner I am enabled to make a much smaller holethrough the material than is possible in the old Way.

I claim:-

1. A glove fastener stud consisting of a struck up dome shaped flangedhead A firmly united to an unflanged clinching eyelet B having a roundenlarged top I) and the neck of the struck up flanged head A. beingrolled in under and around said enlargedtop 1), substantially asdescribed.

2. A glove fastener stud consisting of a struck up dome shaped flangedstud A in combination with a clinching eyelet B provided with a roundedenlarged top I) rolled on to the head of the stud forming a contractedneck a. under and around said enlarged top and a washer C on the undersurface of the material of the glove or garment against which and insaid washer the shank of the eyelet is clinched, substantially asdescribed.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

ALBERT G. MEAD.
